Instructions
- 1
Cook the rice noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions until tender but not mushy, about 4–6 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.

Combine the chicken broth and water in the same large pot over medium heat. Stir in the soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the broth is lightly infused. Watch the garlic closely — it can turn bitter if the heat climbs too high.
